Popcorn & A Movie Mon, Aug 19th at 1:00pm
“Identity Thief ” Sponsored by Life Care Center of MC
Unlimited funds have allowed Diana to live it up on the outskirts of Orlando. There's only one glitch: she's fi-nancing her shopping sprees with an ID stolen from Sandy Patterson, an accounts rep who lives halfway
across the U.S. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Pat-terson is forced to extreme measures to clear his name.
He hits the road to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life and coerce her into making the
2,000 mile road trip back to Colorado to set things right.

Wed, Sept 18th: “Next To Normal” Drury Lane Theatre, Oakbrook Terrace,
IL. One of only 8 musicals in history to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama, this riv-
eting story is an intricate dissection of a ‘normal’ American family. Driven by an
incredible Tony Award winning score, the narrative burrows into family secrets
long since buried. This is a musical that asks the question: Can the seemingly per-
fect family survive an insurmountable event and tender the untenable. A story
whose mere description would destroy it. See it before anyone reveals its secrets.
Includes transp, lunch of Roast Sirloin or Tilapia, and show. Departs LP 9am, MC

mains of socially and religiously “acceptable” roomers; the antics of their brother
who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the activities of the other brother. Includes
transp, lunch at the famous Threshers Dinner served family style, and show. De-
parts MC 9am, LP 9:30am. Reserv/pymt by Sept 30.
Wed, Nov 13th: “Two Guys and a Christmas Tree” at Cornwell’s Dinner
Theatre, Marshall, MI Grandpa’s rule has always been every tree has a story and
every customer must get a tree. Hank and Jim are brothers who are third genera-
tion Christmas tree dealers. The brothers sell trees and spread Christmas cheer to
all who buy from them. Hank has a huge heart and at times has been known to
give away to those who can’t afford them. Jim on the other hand tries to be the
tough one but the Christmas spirit moves even this grumpy guy. The humor, the
warm family spirit and all of the wonderful Christmas songs will make this a sure
hit. Includes transp, complete turkey dinner and show. Departs LP 8am, MC
